After the murder of George Floyd in the summer of 2020, millions of people around the world entered into a dialogue about race and racism in America.

Many leaders and HR professionals don’t know where and how to enter the conversation effectively to have this critical conversation. On today’s episode, host CMA’s David Ciullo discusses with bestselling author Eric M. Bailey, President of Bailey Strategic Innovation Group, Wholly Shift: Changing the Conversation About Diversity, Empathy, and Privilege Using Brain Science.

We discuss his new book, The Cure for Stupidity, where Eric teaches new ways to think differently from traditional diversity training and how to get real results.

If the last two years impacted your organization financially, you're probably eligible for the Employee Retention Tax Credit, or ERC (even if you've already received other financial assistance).

The ERC could infuse tens of thousands (in some cases, hundreds of thousands or over a million dollars) into your organization. For some employers, an ERC is the difference between shutting down and keeping the business in operation.

On this episode of HR Power Hour, join Tawny Alvarez as she talks to Paul Carelis, VP of Client and Human Resources Services, at MP, a company combining cutting-edge, user-friendly HR technology with proactive customer support and human resources services. We’ll discuss the ERC and best practices for claiming and maximizing your credit. We'll also cover how to reduce your workload and turnaround time.

In this episode of the HR Power Hour, host CMA’s David Ciullo discusses with bestselling author John Butler his book Health Insurance Sucks, where he delivers new innovative and powerful solutions that you can implement today. 

We talk a lot about Employee Wellness.

May the answer be that true employee wellness can be accomplished through low and moderate-cost benefits?

In this episode of HR Power Hour, join Tawny Alvarez as she speaks with Yair Riemer, CEO of Intoo, a leading career mobility solution provider for human resources, higher education, and workforce sectors, about low and moderate cost employee benefits that lead to higher engagement and better retention.

Using a recognition culture, communicating with empathy, and providing a health-conscious work environment are a few of the many ways that companies can create and maintain an environment that truly focuses on employee wellness.

Episode Topic:

State and Federal law provide provisions in which an employer must make an accommodation for employees in certain specific situations.

Understanding what those situations are, appropriately responding to the requests, and being mindful that the accommodation that the company is providing is not gutting the job duties and responsibilities of the position are all areas where companies sometimes make choices that increase their liability under accommodation laws.

In this episode of HR Power Hour, join co-host Tawny Alvarez as she talks to Verrill Labor and Employment Attorneys Elizabeth Johnston and Emily Waddell about not just understanding accommodation obligations, but also how to respond to requests to limit future liability.
